How many of you believe, as I do, that wizards lack common sense? I mean does magic supplace that in them or something? Let's look at somethings that happened in the last two books: In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the Order comes for Harry and they fly to Grimmauld Place on brooms. Yet, as we saw in Half-Blood Prince, wizards can have "tag along" apparitions...Okay, if they could do that, then why didn't they just do that with Harry? Why would they risk flying miles on broomsticks, risking attacks from Death Eaters (they themselves were worried about attacks)?
Now onto Horcruxes: okay, Voldemort went to great lengths to protect his horcrux in the cave, yet two wizards (not counting Harry because he didn't do anything) were able to get passed his magic, and get to the locket. Umm...why didn't he just hide the horcrux in a place that was hidden with the fidelius charm? Couldn't he just have had one of his Death Eathers be the secret keeper and then just kill the wizard/witch, making the place and horcrux impossible to find ever again; therefore making himself immortal as a result? Since Rowling has admitted that once a secret keeper is dead, the secret is impossible to tell ever again. That is if he can't be his own, which I don't know if he could or not, because I don't know if Rowling ever said Dumbledore was the one who preformed the fidelius charm on Grimmauld Place or not.
And those are only two minimal examples of the idiotic tendencies of these so called "brilliant wizards".
